OAS Diplomat's Words Rattle Haiti's Occupation Regime

By Mac McKinney

As the one-year anniversary of Haiti's dreadful earthquake approaches, a brutally frank account of the plight of Haitians has been delivered by a high-level diplomat, Ricardo Seitenfus, the OAS representative to Haiti, an account which heavily criticizes the foreign role in that hapless country. This has quickly led to his firing for speaking truth to power, but his words, nonetheless, have been making waves.

Authors Bio:
I am a student of history, religion, exoteric and esoteric, the Humanities in general and a tempered advocate for the ultimate manifestation of peace, justice and the unity of humankind through self-realization and mutual respect, although I am not a pacifist, nor do I believe in peace at any price, which is no peace at all but only delays inevitable conflict. There are times when the world must act. Planetary consciousness is evolving, but there are many retrograde forces that would drag us back down.

I have also written one book, a combination of poetry, photography and essays entitled "Post Katrina Blues", my reflections on the Gulf Coast and New Orleans two years after Katrina struck. Go to the store at http://sanfranciscobaypress.com/ to purchase. And I also have a blog called Plutonian Mac.
